That was my idea as well which I suggested to Roland. The little tabs on the
side would roll out when you put your mouse on them.

Full screen mode is obviously going to be far down on the priority list seeing as how it is more of a "novelty" then a neccessity.
In some cases it can be quite annoying. If any thought goes into wether implementing this feature at all, I will be stunned, and
almost angered at the fact that much more "important" (not saying that you are not important, but bug fixes and usability options
that are much more neccessary for a larger band of users, not just expanding the picture a few pixels) reccomondations go
un-noticed.

1) Nice edit
2) This belongs in the wishlist NG, but not community
3) In the future, please post a link instead of a graphic
4) The web tab button is missing because.... (Pressing it could kick you out of fullscreen)?
5) The tabs are enabled because.... ?

Keep in mind I used a screenshot from 2.2 for the edit so it's missing some stuff, it was just
to give an idea of some of the possibilities...

Now you know how we feel, J-Boy. Our recommendations have gone unnoticed for YEARS,
and we are very much angered that we've been ignored. Starting to see where we're
coming from now?

no, because your not being ignored.. fully.. i will agree that AWC is not paying much attention to their universe users.. but i
don't rag on them.. AW doesn't make money from their citizenships, nor even their worlds for that matter.. we could all drop dead
right now, and allthough it would financially damage AWC, they would struggle, but i believe still survive. It is my belief that
AWC gains all there money from uniservers, this sounds cold, but they don't give a damn about us because we're not spending
thousands of dollars. We're not feeding their families. It is uniserver customers they cater to, because it is uniserver customers
who feed their families, their lack of interest in the community is SOMEWHAT justified, although yes, I want them to listen to all
our requests, it's just not logical. They, however, do listen to some of our requests, and consider many of them. As far as I'm
concerned any bit of interaction is an amazement. WildAW was a tragic mistake on the communities part. We begged for a place where
we could be free from PKs and censorship. AWC finally listened to us, and we now neglect it. Not only are we not large
contributors to their income, we also complain about what we don't have, and take for granted what we do. It is a shock to me that
AWC even listens to us AT ALL. Personally, if I were in the exact position of AWCom, with future technology in the works, I would
be paying 0 attention to the requests of AW citizens. But they ARE paying attention, they are almost finished developing the new AW
object set we have begged for years to get. At Reunion WE, the citizens, discussed the future of the company, even aspects that
didn't involve this universe. I am impressed at their willingness to listen to us, even if it is a small amount.

what i would like.. is you know how you can hit certain F keys to make certain areas of the browser "dissapear" to widen your are of
vision, I think it would be cool if there was one for the chat screen, or one that would at lest resize it for you to one line, for
building or exploring, whatnot.

Then perhaps it would surprise you to learn that at one point in their storied
history, citizenship purchases made up the *majority* of their income! So why weren't
they listening to us then?! Because they never cared in the first place.

As for WildAW's "death", that wasn't entirely the community's fault. You can't just
build a world, leave it as is, and expect a community to spring to life around it.
There has to be proof that the world is *alive*, meaning things are changing and
going on all the time. It's exactly the same reason why communities in COFMeta,
Atlantis, and a ton of other worlds dried up. Because nothing was ever changing, and
eventually, the novelty wore off. If you want to make worlds active, you have to
*keep* them active.

"seemed to"... Exactly what kind of input are we talking about here? Feature requests
at Tech Talk don't count, since Roland doesn't make those decisions anyway. :P

i never go to tech talk.. whenever i talk to rick he seems to listen to me.. in fact.. there's gonna be a new AW world, AWDebate..
so we can debate stuff there.. i might even be able to talk him into showing up to one of them :-)

Heh, well since I don't see it on the Worlds list yet, I'll assume it's nothing more
than a pipe dream for now. In fact, we can use it as a test... if AWDebate ever
opens, then that'll prove (to me, at least) that they're listening to us in some way,
shape, or form. Until then, I shall bitch! :)

renewed U7 i was gonna make a debate world with coryashire. and i told jbell
about it and he said it was a cool idea. and now i hear he took my idea...
how sad../

but what about AW? nothing ever goes on there.. same with AWGate. Yellow & Mars appear higher up on the world list often times and
they don't have events either.. But it is true that events make the world grow imensely, look at AWTeen, I can't stand the design,
nor a lot of the people who go there, or even how it is run for that matter, but because they always have events I even find myself
looking around every once in a while..

I didn't steal your idea.. i had totally forgotten about that, and to think that any world that has any idea that you once had means
that they stole your idea is absurd..

As you were told at tech talk and various other places. SHADDAHP! Tell people your ideas and you run that risk. Most peope can take
it maturely...

Alphaworld and AWGate are exceptions to the rule even more than Yellow and Mars are. Somthing is ALWAYS going on in Alphaworld,
though you'll be damned if you try to find it. AWGate is the landing world, so n00bs are always there doing... Whatever n00bs do.
